They have either an orange tube with green handle and nozzle or a yellow tube with blue handle and nozzle. There is no writing on the water guns themselves
Hazards
The cone-shaped nozzle can unexpectedly come off the water gun and be propelled, causing injury.
Reported injuries
There have been four reports of injuries to children, including cuts and bruises to the face and head.

Consumers should stop using the water guns and return them to a Kmart store for a full refund.
